I took my quilt apart because I didn't want the embroidered blocks to be quilted over. I left it in strips and quilted the 9 patch blocks but the embroidered blocks I stitched 1/4 inch inside the seams. Quilting as you go but do not have it all done yet. Will turn under the backing and will stitch in the ditch to hold the backing in place. I hope it will turn out like I visualize it to be. Good luck with your.
